Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women

[madmusic]

Talking to an attractive woman really can make a man lose his mind, according to a new study.

The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive.

1. Confirmed.

[The Straight Story]

2. Useless without pics (nt)

[Swamp Rat]

17. Exactly n/t

[Selatius]

29. Pictures

Hehehe...

[Avalux]

3. That's because all the man is thinking about is *ing her.

No mystery there.

[Retired AF Dem]

34. And why not?

For every hot woman out there their is a guy tired of *ing her.

[seabeyond]

43. and then you have the ass that cant get it and has to say really stupid stuff

to feel like a man.

grow up

[Arugula Latte]

4. At that point, they're "thinking" with some other part of their body.

:eyes:

[ddeclue]

7. Not enough blood available to work both...

:rofl:

[Odin2005]

26. LOL!

Unfortunately true! :rofl:

[proteus_lives]

30. And we barely get a say when the choice is made!

:rofl:

[virgogal]

5. I guess the men around me are safe then !!!!!

[joecool65]

8. Another no sh*t sherlock study

Where can I get a job doing studies like this? My favorite all-time study was one in which the researchers concluded that people view members of the opposite sex as being more attractive after drinking than before drinking. The more they drank, the more attractive they found members of the opposite sex.

[CoffeeCat]

21. Wow, so if you put these two studied together...

If you drink--you find people more attractive. And being around attractive women makes men dumber.

So, if you want a guy who finds you prettier than you are, who isn't too bright---hand him a glass of Chivas! You
could steal his bank card!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Same here.

In fact, they actually get smarter around me because Mr. Winky instantly shrivels up and all the blood goes back to their brains...

[ddeclue]

6. Thank you Captain Obvious!

[TayTay]

9. Ahm, I find this less than a stunning revelation but still funny n/t

[rocktivity]

11. Homina homina homina homina

20. I guess it's time for me to donate again..

I'm seeing ads and my star is gone.

And the ad I'm seeing is so precious on this particular thread.

<Opens bank account window> :wow: :argh:

Next week I'm sure I'll have the money.. :shrug:

[PM Martin]

12. Most likely thinking of doing you know what with the woman.

:hide:

[jeffbr]

13. Morale: Avoid pretty saleswomen?

[ddeclue]

15. Ummm lose the "e" and stop looking at her..it's MORAL not MORALE..

morale is what improves when she notices you are alive.

moral is something altogether different..

:D

[TCJ70]

14. How do I participate in this study? n/t

[ddeclue]

16. Reminds me of Seinfeld Episode "The Abstinence"..

:rofl:

[rateyes]

18. Huh? What? Did I hear...uh, uh, uh....

Oh, I'm sorry, I lost my mind there for a second:

I lose my mind ever time I see this woman:

[seabeyond]

19. men tend to use left side of brain exclusively and women has connections going both sides of brain

hence women more capable of multi tasking and men single focus.

good and bad in both

when a man is thinking of hitting on a woman he cant think about the address

even when a woman is thinking of hittin on a man she can still give the address

i would wager a guess that if you put something else in front of the male to draw his attention and focus that has nothing to do with a woman he would still not be able to remember his address

but then why use scientific study when we can guess evolutionary psycho babble to make a man feel more manly

[Odin2005]

28. Oh God, you got me exactly!

"when a man is thinking of hitting on a woman he cant think about the address"

:rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Ever seen David Letterman speechless?

He used to babble incoherently when he had Isabella Rossellini on his show.

She's Ingrid Bergman's daughter and quite beautiful. I say that as a straight woman who thinks she's beautiful.

[FarCenter]

23. The most absolutely stunning women I've met were assistants to a public relations executive

of a major corporation. He was in charge of working with politicians, media, other corporations, community leaders, etc.

So I think this is well known.

[omega minimo]

24. "Up here. I'm up here..........."

:wow: :wow:

[BlooInBloo]

36. Holy crap. There's a *person* attached to those bewbies!

whowouldathunkit?

:rofl:

[omega minimo]

38. That's where that noise is coming from!

nan nan annnn nanna nna nan ann nan nannannan nan nann annna nnn ann nn a

Uh.......... what?:wow:

[BlooInBloo]

39. Oh - there was noise?

:P

[omega minimo]

40. must........... not............ drool..........

:wow:

You know what would straighten men straight up? If they know how stupid they look :spray:

[BlooInBloo]

42. Heh. Saying something smart always worked for me...

Otherwise, they're just eye-candy to me (with a slim-to-none chance of getting lucky on the side).

[omega minimo]

44. No one's as smart as you, BlooInBloo

:batslashes: :spray:

[BlooInBloo]

45. I know several such, actually.

[omega minimo]

46. Good think they're not

on DU. What would happen to your reputation?! :wow:

[BlooInBloo]

47. Absolutely nothing - I'd still be an asshole.

[omega minimo]

49. so

you think you're the smartest here, confirming you are an ZZZXXXXXXX :think:

[BlooInBloo]

53. Nothing I said implied that, actually.

[omega minimo]

54. #51 agreed with #50.....

or did your arrogance escape you? :rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

55. Accepted a hypothetical/counterfactual for the sake of discussion...

a) I don't know that the people I know are brighter than me *aren't* on DU, and neither do you - hence the entire discussion cannot be anything other than 100% hypothetical.

b) There are plenty of folks I don't know who are brighter than me. Some of them may be on DU. At no point was anything said by either of us about them.

[omega minimo]

56. Wow! You know big werds n stuff!!

Always the unexpected, BlooInBloo :yourock:

[Odin2005]

48. You don't wanna know how many times I've embarassed myself, OM!

:rofl: :scared:

[omega minimo]

51. Women like men with brains who PAY ATTENTION, O2

:thumbsup: if they wanted moths to mate with, that would be different.

"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"
"Lightbulb BUMP ow"

:think: :spray:

[Odin2005]

52. "if they wanted moths to mate with, that would be different." LOLZ!!!

:rofl!

[Odin2005]

25. They needed a study for this?

A lady friend of mine is constantly telling me I turn goofy, when I'm with her! :rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

37. My guess is that the publish-or-perish nature of academia leads to these...

"water is wet" studies.

It's possible, however, that there's something deeper going on with the study, that journalists, in their eternal intellectual darkness, are unable to recognize.

[Stinky The Clown]

27. As a far younger - and unmarried - clown, I often tripped over my tongue.

[lumberjack_jeff]

31. Believe it or not, I find it quite frustrating.

It's become less of a problem as I get older, but still...

Focus man, focus.

Do gay men have the same problem around attractive people? Serious question.

35. Until you hit about 45

By then you've settled down a bit and are also aware where you are in the pecking order and who would look at you twice.

[Taitertots]

41. Oh that is why all the hottest women are with total idiots

Spent too long talking with them.
